Quality construction in Wallingford
Colonial-style four-bedroom on lightly wooded 1.92-acre lot
The appeal of this sophisticated residence, which is set on a professionally landscaped, nearly 2-acre corner lot, begins before you even step inside.
“It sits prominently on its lot with great views,” said Ellen Gomes, the property’s listing agent. “Once in a while, a truly magnificent home such as this one becomes available.”
Upon your entry into the colonial-style home in Wallingford, you will be greeted by an expansive two-story foyer appointed with exquisite marble flooring and a grand staircase leading to the second level.
“Once inside, you will discover all of the amenities on your wishlist,” Gomes said. “The interior reflects its quality construction and design.”
The residence’s main living areas provide an abundance of space in which to entertain guests and also to gather as a family. An elegant formal living room features a dramatic Palladian window and French doors while the family room boasts a stunning floor-to-ceiling fireplace and a second set of French doors.
The home’s richly appointed kitchen is a room that most can only dream of cooking and entertaining in. This lovely space features an eat-in breakfast area and a French door which effortlessly opens to a private patio.
There is also a second staircase in the rear of the home. This stairway is situated adjacent to the first floor laundry area and provides a convenient entry to the home’s spacious second floor. Here, three generously sized bedrooms offer a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday family life.
Meanwhile, the spectacular master bedroom suite is truly fit for a king and queen. These inviting sleeping quarters also contain a separate en-suite bathroom that includes an oversized standalone shower, a luxurious whirlpool tub and a large walk-in closet.
According to Gomes, the interior of the home was meticulously restored between 2007 and 2008. The home also includes state-ofthe-art security and audio systems as well as a central vacuum system. An attached two-car garage provides plenty of storage space and a convenient entry into the home on cold winter days.
“Built without compromise, the home reflects only the very best,” Gomes said.
The home is located on the very desirable east side of Wallingford, an area which provides easy access to highways, medical facilities and a wealth of local shopping and dining destinations. There are also many community amenities located in close proximity to the home, including a park, a public pool and the local library.
The property itself offers a large yard accented by beautiful plantings and a lovely patio on which to gather with friends and family. The grounds are lightly wooded and provide tranquil views of the nearby public golf course, Gomes noted.
“The slightly rolling topography of the property is great for family picnics, throwing a ball to the children or just relaxing, Gomes said.
